Here’s my translation:

Memorial Guidebook

All released software included!

The truth is like this!

(disclaimer: I’m not fluent in Japanese)

With the upload of VB Guide II, it becomes apparent, that the girls is apparently supposed to be counting…

I looked it up online and it seems that pointing with the middle finger is also a common thing worldwide. “Giving the middle finger” seems to be in debate, some places take it as an insult like in the US but others don’t. Counting or pointing to the VB seem like the bestt options to me 🙂

I don’t get insulted when someone tells me to F’off. I laugh.

Yeah do NOT give the “okay” sign (thumb and first finger forming an “O”), when in Islamic countries. I’m told it’s very, very insulting…

😯

Haha, I’ve heard that about the “ok” sign for South America as well.

And yes, any F-off gesture is usually more amusing than insulting. It just means the other guy is having a worse day than you 🙂

Regarding this flyer…it appears that one of the images in the Doc-Aetzn Marketplace post has a similar one where she’s holding 2 fingers. Must be the 2nd page if we assume she’s in fact counting.

Actually, I believe that it is the second edition of the whole magazine that she is counting. The image where she is holding up one finger is the front cover of the first edition of the magazine, which is extremely rare and nearly impossible to find, while the image where she is holding up two fingers is the front cover of the second edition of the same magazine. Thus, the number of fingers must correspond to the edition number.
